San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies cleared in shooting

Prosecutors Thursday declined to file charges against four sheriff's deputies involved in the fatal shooting of a 40-year-old Rancho Cucamonga man in March 2012.

San Bernardino County sheriff's Deputies Danny Rice, Paul Casas, Michael Salazar and Sgt. Michael O'Brien fired at Brandon Morrow because he fired a .45-caliber handgun at them, striking one of the deputies in the leg, the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office said.

Deputies encountered Morrow in San Bernardino near the corner of Highland and Del Rosa avenues while investigating a rape and robbery case.

He ran from deputies, pulled out the gun and fired at deputies. Rice received a bullet wound to his leg. Morrow was shot several times and died at the scene.
